appearing as if from nowhere...

...is 24 year-old supermodel/actress rosie huntington-whiteley. most famous for modelling victoria's secret and replacing megan fox in the new transformers movie (and let's face it, those are some pretty big boots to be filled) the devon-born....errr...blonde? brunette? blondette is THE NEW FACE of fashion. ever since i first saw her modelling burberry alongside sam riley (actor, you might remember him from such films as 'control' where he played joy division's tragic frontman and not-so-secret hero of mine ian curtis) i knew this girl would be big. and it don't come much bigger than her most recent achievement. and no i'm not referring to her hollywood career. i'm speaking of her reaching the number one spot in FHM's 2011 sexiest women in the world list. as far as having an impact on the public can go, having thousands of men go to the trouble of tearing themselves away from porn/robson green's extreme fishing/more porn long enough to vote you sexiest woman alive is a mammoth achievement. sorry for the casual sexism there boys, we all love robson green's fishing adventures, but in the interests of effect please let this go by-the by.

for those of you sitting and thinking who the pork f**k is rosie blintingly-whittingstall allow me to share with you a few choice images i found when stalking google. enjoy...

need i show more? the thing i really like about her (and subsequently hate) is that apart from her perfect body-shape and beautiful face (grrr) in none-photoshoot shots she actually has a very innocent and child-like look about her. the contrast between the reality of the gal and the ability to "do sexy" when required makes the perfect supermodel. moss did it in the nineties. and i seem to remember she made a lot of money from that? something about being worth millions and having a clothing line in some relatively successful high street store? hmmm i'll look into the facts. i have a good feeling about this one so watch this space. bottom if she's good enough for statham (and the rest of the uk male population) then she's good enough for me. i'm predicting her own lingerie range in the not-so-distant future. cheers victoria's secret but ahhh BYE-BYE! she hella won't be needing them much longer. but that's just my opinion...x

portman we salute you...

fimoria.co.uk 2011

...for your role in the beautifully thrilling psychological drama that is darren aronofsky's 'the black swan', based on the ballet production 'swan lake'. i think every girl can sympathise with the film's main character nina and her battle for self-confidence. teenage years are a time for innocence and rebellion and the film portrays the struggle perfectly. nina is the perfect white swan; sensitive and beautiful but lacking the visceral passion to play the black swan. the film does not under any circumstances skirt around the issues here and there are some very gritty scenes (well, i guess this was to be expected from aronofsky, anybody remember 'requiem for a dream' and the thoroughly disturbing 'ass-to-ass' scene? shudder). from confused sexuality to self-harm this ain't no happy-ending chick flick. watch it. go on. even you boys. you might like it. you might even be scared by it...but that's just my opinion...x

nearly a year on...

...and i'm still highly influenced by lee mcqueen. the a/w 09 menswear collection, inspired by jack the ripper, east london, sweeney todd and an intense expression is beautifully crafted and filled with timeless pieces that have tricked down the high street, yet remain a top style choice for male fashionistas across the uk.

times online, 2009

rip lee mcqueen, but the brand will continue to go from strength to strength if sarah burton takes even a wiff of influence from the godlike genius. and judging by the new s/s 2011 collection, i think mcqueen can rest peacefully in his grave. but that's just my opinion...x

i am losing my edge...

...to the rest of the blogging community. what a massive blagathon my life's been lately, and it's taken its toll on my dedication to kurtcouture. boooo, hissss, pffff. time to pull le finger out  and the best way for me to do that is just to reel off a few things that have inspired me of late. so here goes...


nicki minaj. new name in hiphop, pretty badass, collab with eminem. we'll see what happens.

mixtapemaestro.net

rachel evan wood. she used to go out with marilyn manson, she has red hair, she's been in supercool films. i've nicked this photo from nylon mag, if she's good enough for them, she's good enough for me.

nylonmag.com

an unlikely entry here, ashlee simpson. her music? ermmmm no. her fall out boy husband? na-ah. herrrrrrr hair? bingo. love the red, think it's the best colour she's had yet (but i suppose it can only get better after that emo-black-fringey disaster) but it's the cut that's the beaut here. in fact i decided i liked it that much that i finally went for the chop and got myself a nice sweepy fringe, yays.

hollywooddame.com

lots of female influence here, once again. although the new gucci by gucci for men aftershave advert with james franco might threaten to make an appearance in the not so distant future! (homer simpson saliva noises).

don't have much time at the mo, i promise i'll be back with more interesting things to say about myself very soon though (pah). i think things are looking up again in the world of the elven fiend. that's me by the way. but that's just my opinion...x

today's influence...

...sorry to bang on, but it's juliette lewis. this woman is just sex, massive girl crush on her.

so yea....could go on but i won't dudes! watch this space though, there absolutely WILL be more to come so deal with it. lewis. is. SICK AS FUCK...but that's just my opinion x

ladies night...

...so sometimes i blog about boys. but sometimes i blog about girls. today, i'm blogging about girls. but not ordinary girls. these girls won't do your dishes, these girls won't clean up your room, these girls won't do your laundry (beastie boys much?) but they will probably kick your ass into next week. i'm talking of the most memorable female characters in cinema, at least in my mind. memorable simply because they are sexy, violent and well  fucking cool.

was difficult narrowing the list down and these are in no particular order i'll have you know. but i think you'll agree i've chosen wisely. so here we have it...

imdb.com

 ok now i'm aware that i have already dedicated a blog entry to this li'l lady before, but she's just so ridiculously and unbelievably cute that she deserves a second salute (oooh rhyming). she is of course none other than alabama wurley played by patricia arquette in the film 'true romance'. gorgeous and vulnerable who could forget the scene where she beats (and ultimately eliminates) the living crap out of james gandolfini - aka tony soprano - you go girl.

this is my laptop wallpaper. has been for 6 months. the flipping of the bird was just the icing on the cake for me. i....love...her...

hey there blondie what'cha doing with that big ol' dangerous looking table leg? oh you're gonna kill me dead with it? argggghhhhhhhhh!!! so anyways this lady needs no introductions. she's beautiful, she's nails and she's got some serious beef. a classic tale of revenge, uma thurman's character from kill bill would make any man quake in his cowboy boots, so guys, think twice next time you consider a wedding rehearsal massacre, you could end up one sorry sausage. pussy wagon......fucker.

 

don't let those baby blues fool ya, beatrix kiddo will be all over your ass like a nun sandwich. hot!

speaking of kill bill, my next candidate features on kiddo's death list. from mermaid to one-eyed babe, darryl hannah's 'take-no-prisoners' mega bitch character elle driver just had to make my list too. it was the nurses uniform that did it (hmmm...fancy dress party idea?)

 

yea...wouldn't mess with her, love. brave, sexy as fuck and visually impaired, elle driver, complete with samurai sword, is a force to be reckoned with.

  

 next on my list of movie heroine's? well it wouldn't be a true list of cinema vixens without the lady who sets the standard for vicious beauty. step up angelina. i've actually chosen her character from girl interrupted though rather than something obvious like lara croft or mr and mrs smith. lisa rowe, totally insane (or totally sane depending on which way you look at society) has a very sexy quality about her. the scruffy clothes, the messy hair, the chain smoking. she's just cool as fuck. end of.

 

character: karen hill. movie: goodfellas. played by: lorraine brocco. quote: 'I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of there the minute their boyfriend gave them a gun to hide. But I didn't. I gotta admit the truth. It turned me on' comments: say no more...

next up we have ginger rothstein from scorsese's ultra amaaaaaaazeeeeeen film casino. played by sharon stone i think it's quite obvious that i chose her for my list purely based on the fact that she looks absolutely bang-tidy in this role.

she's the gal you love to hate is ginger. she's such a bitch! lucky for her she's super sexy. i'm thinking of clamping her up in a vice in the basement, you know what i mean pals...

so who's next? gotta be............................................mallory knox. the legend that is. now a lot of people know i have a muhassive girl crush on juliette lewis. and it's so easy to see why if you've seen her in natural born killers! completely retarded but so sweet. not to mention psychotic and extremely dangerous. 'are you flirtin' with me?' dumb move guys, dumb move. perfection.

and last but not least we have elvira hancock. who? michelle pfeiffer's character in scarface. long-suffering wife to tony montana her character is only a minor role really, but what she delivers is indeed of major value. coke addiction aside, it's all...about...the dresses. oh my god the dresses. see for yourself...

want iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!! the hair too. and the super skinny look is also a winner (oh come on it's true)

so there you have it. i'm sure i'll think of more as soon as i enter this but hey ho, they'll be for a later date. cool women, cool clothes, cool violence. but that's just my opinion...x
